he new release of BrainVoyager QX is now available for download containing many new features, improvements and bug fixes. Advanced segmentation tools allow high-quality segmentation of the white / grey matter and grey / CSF boundaries, which can be used to measure cortical thickness in individual brains. Furthermore, group-level cortical thickness analysis (CTA) can now be performed using cortically aligned brains. The new "Self-Organizing Group ICA Plugin", implemented by Fabrizio Esposito, allows group level ICA by analyzing the spatial similarity of independent components across subjects. The "NIfTI-1 Converter Plugin", implemented by Hester Breman, allows to exchange data with other fMRI software packages. Check the release notes for a description of additional substantial enhancements and important bug fixes.
